23.7 Legacy Series / Interface settings mystery
« on: January 26, 2024, 05:58:59 pm »
Recently I switched to an Awow AZ51 micro PC for OPNSense. This device has two 2.5Gb ports, and most users report having to change settings to get full throughput. When I set it up initially, I got limited throughput, and found I needed to set the Speed and Duplex setting for each interface to 1000BaseT, and got full speed.
Today, to troubleshoot a different issue, I had to revert to an older saved configuration, which did not have the Speed and Duplex setting. After a reboot, imagine my surprise when I got full speed without changing the Speed and Duplex setting from "Default."
I'm happy about it, but I don't understand it. Could the hardware interface have remembered the setting?
